Our mental health center is at the forefront of effective evidence-based practices. Crestwyn Behavioral Health offers a safe environment to help adolescents regain control of their lives.

Learn About Our Adolescent Inpatient Program

Crestwyn Behavioral Health’s adolescent inpatient program is designed to care for the unique needs of adolescents who have developed mental illness and/or substance use disorders. Our program is intended for adolescents age 13 to 17, though we are sometimes able to care for younger ages depending on clinical appropriateness. During inpatient treatment, which usually lasts between 10 and 14 days, adolescents live at our treatment center while participating in individual therapy, group therapy, and other scheduled services throughout each treatment day.

Care in our adolescent inpatient program begins with the admissions process. With adolescents, this usually means that parents, guardians, or other loved ones contact a member of our admissions team to schedule an appointment for an assessment. The process begins with the assessment counselor conducting a brief screening conversation to collect demographic and insurance information as well as gathering clinical history and discussing the individual’s needs. The assessment counselor then brings this information to the psychiatrist, who makes a final determination of acceptance and a recommendation for a level of treatment, such as inpatient care.

What We Treat at Crestwyn

Our adolescent program provides care for individuals with a number of mental health diagnoses. While the following is by no means an exclusive list of the disorders and symptoms we treat, it includes some of the most common diagnoses and symptoms that are experienced by our adolescent patients:

Bipolar disorder

Depressive disorders

Anxiety disorders

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Schizophrenia

Suicidal ideation

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Substance abuse and substance use disorders

Prescription drug abuse

Psychotic disorders

Our mental health rehab center is not currently equipped to provide care for individuals with behaviors related to intellectual and developmental disabilities, or who have medical conditions that require intensive management.

The clinical team for the adolescent inpatient program includes board-certified psychiatrists, counselors, nurses, social workers, and activity therapists. All of our adolescent inpatient staff members are passionate about helping adolescents manage the symptoms of mental health disorders, overcome substance abuse, and lay a foundation for lifelong mental health. Our treatments are based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational enhancement, as well as other empirically supported treatment interventions.

Our clinical team works closely with each young man or woman to develop a treatment plan that addresses his or her unique strengths, goals, and treatment needs. We do not subscribe to a one-size-fits-all style of treatment, so no two adolescents’ treatment programs will be the same. We offer a number of interventions that may be included in each adolescent’s treatment plan, including the following:

Group Therapy

Group therapy is the backbone of treatment at our mental health rehab center. During groups, adolescents gather to process personal issues, practice mental health and relational skills, build relationships with their peers, learn about topics related to mental health, and share in their growth journeys. Groups meet multiple times per day and encompass a variety of types and topics, including the following:

Community

Psychoeducation

12 Step recovery

Anger management

Goal-setting

Medication support

Suicide prevention

Treatment options

Recovery skills

Healthy relationships

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy occurs as needed and is an opportunity for adolescents to meet one-on-one with one of our highly–trained counselors to process issues relevant to their treatment. Many adolescents use this time to more deeply explore certain areas of personal growth, to discuss issues that they may not feel comfortable discussing in groups, and to receive support and encouragement as they progress on their journeys towards better mental health.

Family Therapy

Family therapy at our psychiatric rehab center occurs as needed and sessions are determined by the treatment team. Family therapy can be beneficial, for mental illness and substance abuse do not just affect the individual with the condition, but in fact, affect his or her entire family and social sphere. We provide family therapy sessions based on the patient’s need and the family’s ability to participate in such sessions.

Discharge Planning

With an understanding that inpatient treatment is just one part of the healing process, our mental health rehab center places a premium on ensuring that each patient leaves treatment with a thorough discharge plan. The discharge planning process actually begins the day that a man or woman enters the adult inpatient program. By the time that the patient has completed his or her time with us, he or she will have worked with the members of his or her treatment team to develop a document that identifies the professional referrals, community-based services, and other resources that will enable him or her to maintain and build upon the progress that he or she began while in our care.

At Crestwyn Behavioral Health in Memphis, Tennessee, we are committed to providing the care that can enable adolescents to learn to manage mental health conditions and overcome substance abuse so that they can build a foundation for healthy living and realize their fullest potential. If your child or another adolescent in your life can benefit from our services, please do not hesitate to contact us at your earliest convenience.
